Venetian Harbour is a picturesque and historic port located in the heart of Rethymno Town, on the northern coast of the island of Crete. The harbour dates back to the 13th century, when it was built by the Venetians as a strategic trading post and naval base. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and a hub of activity, with a bustling waterfront lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops.
The harbour is surrounded by a maze of narrow streets and alleys, which are home to a mix of traditional Venetian and Ottoman architecture. The most prominent feature of the harbour is the imposing Fortezza, a massive fortress that dominates the skyline and offers stunning views of the sea and the town. Other notable landmarks include the lighthouse, the mosque, and the old customs house.
The harbour is also a hub of maritime activity, with fishing boats, yachts, and tour boats coming and going throughout the day. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, watch the boats come in and out, or take a boat tour to explore the coastline and nearby islands. The harbour is particularly lively in the evenings, when locals and tourists alike gather to enjoy the vibrant nightlife and soak up the atmosphere.
Overall, Venetian Harbour is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Rethymno Town. Its rich history, stunning architecture, and lively atmosphere make it a true gem of the Mediterranean.
